The Prime Minister, who watched the straight-sets victoryfrom the Royal Box, said: "I wanted to be there to support Andy Murray. I'm a keen tennis fan, it's my favourite sport, I try to play maybe once a fortnight. I very much wanted to be there to cheer him on.

"As Prime Minister you are very lucky to get the chance to go to things like that. It's something I particularly wanted to go to."

Mr Cameron said that he had taken his mother Mary to the to the game where she had been seated next to the England striker Wayne Rooney.

"They asked, I said I would really like to go so they put me in the Royal Box. They decide where they put you. I took my mum, I was given two tickets and my mum is a real tennis fan."

He told the schoolchildren: "What the Andy Murray story shows is that if you are really dedicated and if you work really hard and if you set yourself a goal, you can achieve it.
